MOVIE NIGHT!First, we would like to thank everyone that attended PMC Movie Night last night! It was a blast chatting and watching short Minecraft animations and A Wizard’s Tale together! There certainly was never a dull moment! Special thanks to the producer, StingrayProductions , for not only producing the movie, but attending movie night as well. Your director commentary through the movie was appreciated, and we all learned a little more about the behind-the-scenes work! We can’t wait to see what other movies you produce!

There were a steady 45 members the entire movie! Some members popped in a little late because of school, while others had to leave to do laundry. There were a total of 114 members throughout the evening. It sure was fun and lively the entire time! Participants should see something special in their trophy case!

If you missed movie night, don’t worry! We WILL be having another one! You can catch the short Minecraft Animations and A Wizard’s Tale over on PMCTV, Channel 6. We will continue to run the short clips and movie until the next movie night!

How is everyone's new year going so far? Did you set resolutions or goals for the year? Let's hear what they are!

2018 was a big one for Planet Minecraft. We launched PMCSkin3D and added powerful features to it over the months. We added a Youtubers section, started hosting Official Events, began publishing a Wall Post Weekly, overhauled the website design, added advanced collection features, introduced seasonal site themes with PMC pets (Topper and Batty!), and most recently added an Activity Feed. In addition to these updates there were countless small improvements across the site which collectively evolved PMC this past year. A BIG thanks to all of you for your continued support. Together we’re a community to be proud of!

We have many exciting plans for the upcoming year, which we're already developing behind the scenes.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

There are 4 days left to submit an entry to Momu's Skin Reshade contest, Holy Reindeer RC. Reshade contests are a great way to practice shading and get feedback!

OFFICIAL CONTESTS AND EVENTS

Bad news and good news. Bad news - due to how busy December was, PMC will not be hosting any official contests for the month of January. Good news, we will be focusing even more on promoting community hosted contests and events. We will be back on schedule in February. Use this month to support your fellow PMCer’s by participating in their events and contests.

Congratulations to the winners of the Five Elements Skin Contest and thank you to everyone who participated. There were a variety of artistic representations of the five elements. Some represented individual elements while others represented all five elements. All of the entries can be viewed here.

Greetings, PMCers! We hope everyone had a great holiday! Judging by the results on this poll by Mr_Memz that asked what your favorite part about Christmas is, spending time with family is by far what the majority of you enjoy most! You sweet people, you. "The Food" came in close second, nom nom, with "Gifts" at a close third. What was your favorite gift you received/gave?

With the holiday season ending, so are a lot of the contests and events. In this edition of The Wall Post Weekly, we highlight the results of concluded events, emphasize those that are ending soon, and summarize this weeks activity.OFFICIAL CONTESTS AND EVENTS

Speaking of the Winter Wonderland Event.....tomorrow is your LAST DAY to submit an entry! Make sure your submission relates to the theme! Anything wintry! Projects, Skins, Blogs or Artwork! There are some really creative and original submissions already (522 to be exact!). All participants receive a small pixel present to add to their trophy case!

DinowCookie's Secret Santa event was a success! Check out this collection to see a variety of gifts made by our talented members!

OTHER HIGHLIGHTSIn the beginning of December, BTWN submitted an un-decorated big, beautiful spruce tree for anyone to decorate!

Congratulations to _Phrozenbit_ for their successful server launch with 59 players in just 4 days. Their server offers two different types of Minecraft gameplay: Redstone Freebuild and Survival. Together they are setting an excellent example of how to setup and promote a new server on PMC.

Happy Friday! It's been a fun wintry month and it's not even over yet! There's still time to enter Christmas and Winter Themed events! We've been busy this week working on a feature we think everyone will enjoy! This feature, along with this week's highlights are summarized below!

WEBSITE UPDATES

ACTIVITY FEEDWatch and discover new content and members with a feed of activity from PMC Community Members! WHY didn't we have this sooner?! Simply go to the “Community” drop down on the main navigation bar and select “Activity”.

Hazaa! You can pin the Activity feed to your nav bar by hovering over “Activity” and clicking the pin icon. Topper is in shock. You also have the ability to sort by specific activities including but not limited to: Diamonds given, members subscribing, submissions favorited... etc. Kiss hours of free time good bye! You're welcome.

topper, in shock.

TOPPER!

Speaking of Topper, have you noticed anything about Topper lately? Last week, Cyprezz reached out and asked the community for help with emotes and many of you responded with adorable (some, ambiguous) ideas! We implemented all of the animated suggestions and will continue to add them! Which Topper Emote is your favorite so far?Side note: If you want to be Topper, check out these Topper Skins! Here's an idea: Flood a server with Toppers!

Side note #2: Topper should be behaving now, pacing back and forth on the header (except profiles). That goober just wanted to be all over the place! OFFICIAL CONTESTS AND EVENTS

WINTER WONDERLAND Community Event! We've been noticing some winter/Christmas skins and projects that have not been entered in the Community Event. The event is OPEN to all mediums as long as it fits the “Winter” theme! You can submit up to 5 entries!

Look for him in the top banner. Just keep refreshing the main/landing page of the site after logging in (so you get "credit" for finding him) and he will eventually appear upon page load. Also I never saw him with Chrome, only Firefox, but that might have just have been my own experience.

Happy Friday! Whew! We apologize for the small crash there (you'll find out why below). With the Christmas holiday fast approaching, so are most of the deadlines for contests. We've also been behind the scenes working on a few fun features! Some of our PMC'ers had celebrate-worthy events/submissions this week, so be sure to check out the highlights below for more details!

OFFICIAL CONTESTS AND EVENTS

The Winter Wonderland Community Event is 2 weeks in! We're very close to 300 entries ranging from skins bundled up in coats, hats, gloves, and scarves to wintry scenes with penguins, snowmen, presents and... snow! You still have plenty of time to participate in this event and remember, you can enter up to 5 times!!

PMC member canday (who has a rather festive profile!) Recolor Contest ends in 3 days! In this contest, you're provided with a grey scale skin. You get to color it with up to 4 of the 15 provided palettes. We love this unique concept!

MENTIONSAfter a small hiccup, we've implemented mentions! That's right, you can now tag your fellow PMC Members simply by typing the “@” symbol and then the PMC member name! Not quite sure how to spell a member's name? The system autocompletes for you, pulling up suggested usernames based on what you've typed! Woo!

TOPPER EMOTES!On the previous Wall post Weekly, we asked you what emotes you'd like to see – instead of creating the emotes for you on our end, we're giving you the opportunity to make them yourselves! Details can be found on Cyprezz's forum post!

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

Minecraft Skin Team Top Notch released their first Skin Pack - Village and Pillage! It's a completely FREE skin pack that consists of 12 Village and Pillage themed skins! Top notch is currently working on their second project – we're looking forward to seeing what they come up with next!

Congratulations on the completion of your Red Alert Collection!

If you logged into your account between 12/11 @ 10AM EST and 12/12 @ 10AM EST, please review your notification settings. There was a bug that reset notifications when you logged in. It's been squished!

Happy weekend and December 2nd! As you can see, the site theme is now WINTER and we hope everyone is enjoying all of the little icicles, snow, and feel of the site! It technically isn't Winter yet (December 21st is the official date!) but we're close enough – with snow, freezing temperatures & all of those fun winter-y things (in some parts of the country). We've been planning and preparing the themes, activities, and other little surprises for December, and we're excited for the weeks to come!

Happy FRIDAY PMCer's! Did it snow where you are? Enough to make a snowman or cancel school? Here's a summary of this week on PMC!

WEBSITE UPDATES

Updates!! The most noticeable update was the new nav bar, XP bar, and PMC Logo in the header. It may appear that these changes are the only updates on the site... but they're not!

Cyprezz explains:

"There was a pile of improvements all over the site that had nothing to do with the site theme and physical changes. For example, I integrated 'lazy loading' of images which should speed up the site on both mobile and desktop - saving bandwidth for us and you!"

The Logo Before and After

The Header: Logo, Navigation, Notification Tabs & XP Bar You can read more about the update in replies to questions on his wall, which you can view here.

There were many updates to the Collections system! We also updated the Collections Tutorial, which includes new, detailed explanations, newly added GIFs, updated photos, and more! Let us know if we missed anything by commenting on the tutorial page!

Another major update was with PMCSkin3D! Did anyone notice that you can now edit ANY MOB?! Chicken, Cows, Dolphins, Sheeps, Squid, and SO many more. Only player model textures can be published.....for now. wink. Simply launch PMCSkin3D, select " File > NewSkin ". Click on the drop-down menu (Steve is pre-selected) and choose your mob! Easy peasy!

One final thing. Remember Batty? Chances are, Batty's still hanging around your profile but you now have the ability to "dismiss" Batty, relocating Batty to your Trophy Case! You can summon Batty by going to your Trophy Case, and hitting the blue "Summon" button. Batty will re-appear on your profile!

OFFICIAL CONTESTS

October's Official Contest Results wrapped up. Congratulations to the winners! Results are summarized below, but be sure to check out the final leaderboards to see some spooky, fun and festive entries!

This month's skin contest theme is ROBOTS! After months of being on the community poll, it finally had majority vote! There are about 10 days left to enter! We're looking forward to seeing some creative computer creatures and reading equally imaginative stories about them!

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Sign-ups for Chiaroscuro's writing contest - Season 3 - are still open and will remain open until the maximum of 16 members sign up! There are already 10! Details can be found on the Sign-Up Page!Skin Events & Contests ending soon!

Every extra special thing we've done on the site this month is because of this Holiday, and it's finally here! Let's recap the eventful month!

SITE THEME

One of the most noticeable special spoops was the site theme! Bats, leaves, pumpkin-orange buttons.. oh my! Along with the appropriate site theme, a lot of members decorated their personal profile in cobwebs, creepy-crawlers, and spooky scary skeletons. We really enjoyed seeing everyone's profile transform! So festive and creative! The orange buttons and leaves aren't going anywhere just yet - they'll stick around through the fall season!

HALLOWEEN COMMUNITY EVENT

The FIRST ever non-competitive Community Event was successful, to say the least! The Halloween Community Event wrapped up yesterday and we are impressed by the quality and number of submissions and support you have given each other! Head on over to check out the Event Summary which includes a few featured submissions! We appreciate all of the hard work and effort you put into the event and needless to say, it won't be the last of its kind. Pat yourselves on the back and give each other high fives! Special thanks to DinowCookie for helping host and coordinate the event!

Let's talk about the friendly phantom creature that's been hanging around randomly – BATTY! Many of you have already found Batty, and if you haven't, don't fret! You still have the rest of today to find Batty, and it should be easier because it's Halloween and it's Batty's favorite Holiday!

Here are some fun Stats about Batty!

Fun Fact: Batty wasn't in our original plans for the month, but when the seed was planted it grew and we're happy Batty was well received! Batty feels very welcomed and thanks to the community for being so friendly!

Batty showed up 22,205 times for members only!15,428 members saw but never claimed Batty!

In addition, our official Laboratory Experiments Skin Contest received 240 entries & is currently in the judging phase! There were some beautiful and unique creations & equally original stories along with them. The Pumpkin Carving Contest JUST entered the review phase which means there's still time to look over the entries and diamond your favorites to ultimately determine the finalists!

Holy SPOOP! How is it Friday already?! Not complaining, because we're THAT much closer to Halloween!! Who's going to a Halloween Party this weekend? What are you going to be? Something scary? Cute? Funny? Comment below, we're curious!
